I recently built a site for a client that uses an XML file for some of the content items.

Along with the site, I built an "admin" page using Classic ASP, XML, and XSL that allows them to update the XML file (including being able to add additional records).

The basic design is like this:
1- "admin.asp" - reads the XML file and presents the data in an HTML form using a table for the layout.
2- user makes updates, adds rows, etc.
3- then the user clicks "Save" the form posts to a page which loops through all of the table rows, creating XML as it goes, ultimately overwriting the current XML file with a new one.

The code just writes a "string" to a file, the string happens to be in XML format, to whatever file you point it to. Since this runs server-side, if you want the process to update files on different servers, you would need to send the information to a web page on each server.

Hey I kind of just stumbled across this while working on a site. I'm trying to create a page similar to yours, with an admin page where a user can edit a list that gets displayed on the page. The is a set of people and is stored in an xml file with their name, personal webpage, and their position on our team.
I have experience programming, but I've never worked with asp xml or xls, and im still a student, so I'm not even sure how to get started. Any help would be appreciated.
